Wired: "Christian rock has joined the guitar videogame craze, introducing a new demographic to the joys of guitar-based videogaming without exposing devout would-be rock stars to the racier elements of Guitar Hero.
Digital Praise's Guitar Praise - Solid Rock adopts the same concept of "playing" rock tunes on an increasingly difficult level. But it inhabits a gentler world where a bad performance gets you mild clapping and gentle suggestions instead of the raucous boos and catcalls that accompany failure in Guitar Hero."
From Gamertell:
"Digital Praise, the company responsible for the music games Dance Praise and Guitar Praise , has announced a planned merger with Left Behind Games Inc, most well-known for games based on the Left Behind best-selling series of books."
I'm glad they are hemorrhaging money, religion has no place in video games... just like in schools.
I couldn't help but think of a GTA in Jesus form. xD
That sounds so fun.
Especially with a karma system.
Anyway >_>
I think it'd be tight to have some Christian games, wouldn't bother me.
Moar gamez!

Granted, this game does not develop any new concepts. In fact, many secular reviewers have called Guitar Praise a "rip-off," "knock-off" and "copycat" of the original groundbreaking game Guitar Hero. And, in a way, they're right. But what that snarky group seems to be missing-while they smirk at the idea of "Christian rockers with a plastic guitar"-is that the game doesn't have to be radically different from others in this billion-dollar rock guitar genre to be noteworthy. It just needs a little cleanup on aisle nine."
How could a video game feel anything like a surging electric guitar pulsing in your ears or the bass from a kick drum thumping off your chest? It doesn't, and can't. Games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero have as much to do with music as MTV does today.
